I didn't cross international borders, but I did stay in a room with what amounted to three (and then four) perfect strangers. I'm a grown woman and perfectly capable of traveling on my own, have been for years, and really enjoy not needing to conform to someone else's schedule and itinerary.
The scaries are usually allayed by asking directions from someone who looks to be an employee, and I'm sure that there are people living in and around Atlanta who would be willing to meet you at the airport or hotel. I ran into a lot of Con goers on my way in who I hadn't planned on meeting up with anyway.

Instant family, just add Con ticket!
I also heartily recommend international travel if you can swing it. We've got a big continent to roam around in, but England, Ireland, France, Netherlands, and Belgium were well worth the effort.

Canada's pretty OK too.

Well don't know what the flight would cost you, but if you find 3 roomies ( which is what most do) the room's about $220 for all four nights and the D*C registration is like $60( not sure check their site) and then just food... so maybe $600-$800

It cost me a grand for flight, hotel, food, and various shinies. Of course, not everyone is going to have the expensive habits I do, so you might be able to get by on less than that. But there are just so many amazing things you can buy there...

You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.

Who me? Are you kidding? A flight from Australia alone costs a good two grand, and that's if you book it early. One of my dearest friends came from there for the last con. It cost me about $300 for my plane ticket from here in the Rockies.
